OMG I loved the Stayin' Alive soundtrack, I have it on cassette tape :). Frank wrote several great songs, but was overshadowed by the BeeGees. Cynthia Rhodes had a great voice.
Hmmm... Radiohead - OK Computer & The Bends Extreme - Pornograffiti, Three Sides to Every Story & Saudades De Rock Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet Sorry for the long list - I couldn't pick one!
Andy and Company. Andy Williams with guests, including the Osmond Brothers before they made any of their own albums. Probably 1965/66, when I was just a toddler. Still have it. :)
Too many to count but George Michaels: Listen Without Prejudice was gorgeous. George Harrison: Cloud Nine Lucinda Williams: Car Wheels on a Gravel Road Linda Ronstadt: Best of #1 Foo Fighters: The Colour and the Shape.
There are 2 that I always go back to, in times of joy and in times of pain and stress: The Beatles, The White Album; Carole King, Tapestry. I wanna throw in U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind. Jeez, I'm not sure that's the title?
Anyhoo...today is The White Album. I am off the grid for the time being. I'll be *in* when I can. I'm jonesing bad for my word games and CDAN!
@reese...I actually love the songs of All That You Can't Leave Behind more than Joshua Tree. I chose Joshua Tree though because it was their seminal album that not only brought worldwide acclaim and awards but was the first to show off their musical maturation and a coming into their own. Boy and War (and even October) were great albums in many respects but lack the lyrical and musical maturity of Joshua Tree.
REM - Murmur Nick Drake - Pink Moon Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Midlake - Trials of Van Occupanther De La Soul - 3 feet high and Rising Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back Roxy Music - Avalon
Tori Amos-Little Earthquakes and Boys for Pele, Pele is a masterpiece imo. Little Earthquakes helped change, and save in a sense, my life (sounds cliche, but oh well!).
I'm also obsessed with The Idler Wheel by Fiona Apple
I'm not talking being a brilliant musical effort, just my favorites:
Michael Jackson-Thriller Def Leppard-High n Dry Bon Jovi-Slippery When Wet Motley Crue-Girls, Girls, Girls Original Broadway Cast Album-Guys and Dolls. Digital Underground-Sex Packets
Duran Duran - their first album Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain Supertramp - Breakfast in America Leningrad Cowboys - Live in Prowinzz Sleepy Sleepers - Turakaisten Paratiisi
Ok, IDoTheRobot, you can get out of my head now, thank you very much! Add also Beastie Boys Check Your Head, Bob Marley Legend and Carole King Tapestry and I'm good...
Season's End - Marillion The Bends - Radiohead Thriller - Michael Jackson Dangerous - Michael Jackson Supernatural - Santana Live - Herbert Groenemayer Can't choose!
OMG...music is my Abilify! I can't pick one...Tom Petty, Billy Joel, The. Clash, NIN, Bowling For Soup, Sublime, Everclear, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Queen, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe...lol, eclectic music taste. And for the record, Johnny Cash and David Allan Coe aren't country, they're COOL.
I too go through phases but I always love Dear You- Jawbreaker 4 AM Friday- Avail And so many more, lots listed above. My all time favorite love dong ever in the world is I Believe by Stevie Wonder though
I guess during some award presentation, a fan traveled a long distance to see Alanis. She allegedly ignored the person and was upset about the low turnout, or something of that sort. This blind was revealed I think on New Year's, but the comments that day were more interesting, if I recall correctly.
